Withum Tax Lunch & Learn: Maximizing Tax Incentives for Growth-Stage Life Sciences Companies

Join Withum's tax specialists for an insightful Lunch & Learn focused on two of the most valuable tax incentives available to emerging and high-growth life sciences companies: Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS) and the Research & Development (R&D) Tax Credit. Whether you're developing groundbreaking technologies, raising capital, or planning for future liquidity events, understanding these incentives can have a significant impact on your company's growth strategy and long-term value. Learn how early-stage decisions around entity structure, equity issuance, and compliance can help preserve valuable QSBS benefits that may allow shareholders to exclude up to 100% of eligible capital gains.
